Ryan Braun didn't make the starting team for the ASG. Justice!

David Wright losing out to Panda is hilarious. Giants fans stuffing them boxes.

All votes from the Bay Area should be declared void.

Chipper Jones and Bryce Harper are 2 of the guys up for the fan vote for the last spot. Other 3 are Michael Bourn, David Freese and Aaron Hill.

That's a clown choice bro. Voting for Larry!

Link · (07-01-2012, 05:31 PM)

Wow, Giants fans should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

rekameohs · 05:38 PM

Vote for Aaron Hill, please. Two fucking cycles in a month deserves a vote.

Wait, LaHair over Goldschmidt?! You nuts?

dmag1223 · (07-01-2012, 05:37 PM)

Lynn on the roster over Cueto. Hilarious. Oh and lol and Giant fans. Very embarrasing.

darkside31337 · (07-01-2012, 05:38 PM)

Poor Johan. He deserved the spot.

clemenx · 05:41 PM

Cueto, McDonald and Santana should be in there.

Also happy for Altuve, he was in the Futures Games last year!

Dominican Power · (07-01-2012, 05:41 PM)

All star voting is a fucking joke.

Edwin got fucking snubbed...

Enron · (07-01-2012, 05:49 PM)

Braves sign Ben Sheets to minor league deal. He was throwing in the pen before today's game in front of Frank Wren and Roger McDowell.

I'm interested to see if he has anything left in the tank. I'm guessing no.

ASG Rosters shouldn't have limitations. Just have the fan vote mindlessly and then put the deserving people in.

Enron · (07-01-2012, 06:00 PM)

He looked okay-ish in his stint in Oakland before his elbow blew up again - I wouldn't be surprised if he did have something left, it just isn't going to be the Ben Sheets we remember. It will be #4/#5 starter upside. For what it's worth, Don Sutton said he looked like the same old Ben Sheets, in terms of delivery and hitting spots. But no word on velocity as they didn't have a gun on him.

Rafa=FedKilla · (07-01-2012, 06:02 PM)

Matt Wieters deserved to start the ASG.

Mr. Enigma · (07-01-2012, 06:12 PM)

Pablo Sandoval was voted in above David Wright? Are you fucking kidding me?

Blearth · (07-01-2012, 06:13 PM)

Let's be real. Nobody wants a Met on the starting roster.

You guys should be thanking us.

RobotHaus · (07-01-2012, 06:13 PM)

So Tampa is winning as of the second inning and they've yet to register a hit. Wouldn't that be something if it stayed that way.

dvdjamm · (07-01-2012, 06:13 PM)

Vogelsong & Bumgarter should be there too.

Mr. Enigma · (07-01-2012, 06:13 PM)

Goddamn, Andrelton Simmons walks on a 14-PITCH at-bat against Gio.

David Wright... not starting? What the fucking fuck?

Blearth · (07-01-2012, 06:20 PM)

Belt and Crawford finished 2nd at 1B and SS, respectively.

Posey sets record for most votes in NL history.

U mad?

Actually, yeah. No NL catcher has been close to Carlos Ruiz this season.

vas_a_morir · (07-01-2012, 06:24 PM)

I'm starting to think there is some shady business going on with the All Star voting.

Y2Kev · (07-01-2012, 06:24 PM)

Well, it's July. I guess Cano can suck shit.

you can vote a million times, nothing shady about it.

im surprised there's never been a troll campaign to get some scrub voted in.

I would argue on an offensive level, Yadier Molina is close. On a defensive level, Yadier is better than Ruiz.

I have no idea why Posey is getting so many votes. I mean the kid is good, but not better than those he beat out in voting.

Blearth · (07-01-2012, 06:30 PM)

Just give it a few years, guys. You'll begin to accept undeserving Giants starting the game the same way you accept undeserving Yankees today.

Yes, actually, because it's disgraceful. But hey, congrats on putting the spotlight on your fans being terrible yet again, San Francisco.

San Francisco Giants have been about as successful as the NY Mets.

At least they have their NY history to fall back on!

It's all those votes from gary Whitta brah. I remember him in the WS threadd asking if he could still get tickets.

Mr. Enigma · (07-01-2012, 06:39 PM)

Jon Heyman is reporting the Phillies have contacted teams to let them know Cole Hamels is officially up for grabs.

Little Green Yoda · (07-01-2012, 06:43 PM)

Did Zach Greinke really not make the NL squad despite being arguably the best NL pitcher so far? :lol

But they just need to get their while team back! They'll be unstoppable!

Obviously giants fans are too high to vote for anything correctly.

Dan Uggla did get voted in.
